OARBOY BONNET.

Application filed October .10, 1923. Serial No. 667,719.

the city of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Carboy Bonnet, of which the following is a'full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its object to provide a carboy bonnet which serves to protect the projecting neck of a bottle disposed in the carboy. the bonnet having two parallel strips secured to sides of the bonnet respectively by means of which the bonnet may be readily fastened to a carboy.

Another object of the invention is, to construct the bonnet with sides convergingupwardly which are connected at their upper portions by a horizontal member,- this con-, struction making the bonnet strong and durable.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a bonnet with a resilient member which will press against the cork and serve to hold the cork in the bottle.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of my invention is described.

In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts in both views in which,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the upper portion of a carboy to which is secured my carboy bonnet; and r Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section of Fig. 1. p

On referring to the drawings it will be seen that the car-boy 5 has a top 6 to which the carhoy bonnet T is secured. This carboy bonnet constructed with four sides 8 which ('(mncct with each other at their edges, the said sides 8 converging upwardly and being connected at their top by a horizontal member 9, this horizontal member 9 being secured to the sides 8.

The bonnet has two parallel strips or bers 1O havingoritices 11 through which screws 12 may be disposed to screwthe bonnet 7 to the top 6 of the carboy. It will be understood by removing the screws 12 the bonnet may be raised from the top 6. of the Carboy without damage to the neck 18 of the bottle 1 k. 'However, when the bonnet is in place andis held in position by the screws 12, it will serve to protect the neck- 13 of the bottle 14.

On referring to FigureQ ofthe drawings it will be seen that within the bonnet and securedto the inner sides 8, there are two bearing memberslti each having a bearing 16 in which the ends 17 of a leaf spring 18 are disposed. This leaf spring 18 is situated in a position to engage the cork 19 disposed in the neck-of the bottle so that when the bonnet 7 is in position, the leaf spring 18 will hold in placethe said cork19.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is: i i

1. In a bonnet for carboys, a hollow body having four upwardly converging sides,

each side being disposed at angles to adja 2. In a bonnet for carboys, a hollow body,"

and a. leaf spring carried by the body for engaging at its centralportion a cork for pressing the cork into a bottle when disposed in the I carboy.

3. In a bonnet for carboys, a body having two bearings spaced apart and a leaf spring having its ends disposed in the bearings, the leaf spring being in position for pressing a cork into a bottle disposed in the carboy.

4. In a bonnet for carboys. a hollow body having four sides converging upwardly, a top connecting the sides. two bearings spaced apart in the hollow body and a leaf spring iaving its ends disposed in the bearings the leaf spring being in position for pressing a cork into a bottle disposed in the carboy.
